I was at a large graduation party last Sunday. One guy was wearing a fairly new 36mm yellow gold DD. It looked modern, classic and beautiful. There was nothing vintage about it. I believe the 36mm may look small in the case but in the wild it looks just as good as any other fine timepiece.

I do agree. I've had three diffent 36mm DD's in the past. Each time I sold one I wanted another. I have one now with a black Roman dial and I really like it. It's fairly heavy but very comfortable to wear.
